Of the 960 people in the theater, 17% tipped 5 cents to the usher, 50% of the remaining 83% tipped 10 cents, and the rest tipped nothing. How much did the usher get?

If half of the 83% tip the usher 10 cents and the other half doesn't, it is the same as if all 83% had tipped him 5 cents, which is the same amount as what the remaining 17% tipped. The usher recieved 4,800 cents, or more simple, 48 dollars. Nov 05 02, 11:57 AM
